Rumi Quotes

For Soul There Is Other Food Besides This Food Of Sleeping And Eating, But You Have Forgotten That Other Food. Night And Day You Nourish Only Your Body. Now, This Body Is Like A Horse, And This Lower World Is Its Stable. The Food The Horse Eats Is Not The Food Of The Rider. You Are The Rider And Have Your Own Sleeping And Eating, Your Own Enjoyment. But Since The Animal Has The Upper Hand, You Lag Behind In The Horse's Stable. You Cannot Be Found Among The Ranks Of Kings And Princes In The Eternal World. Your Heart Is There, But Since Your Body Has The Upper Hand, You Are Subject To Its Rule And Remain Its Prisoner.
